Watermelon-flavored wind and you

This year's autumn seems to come a bit early. In early September, the sweet-scented osmanthus is about to bloom. Tao Shuran was walking on the way to school with her schoolbag on her back. When she looked up a little, she could see that the treetops were bent by the heavy buds. .

It is said that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Tao Shuran walked slowly alone, with her head lowered in boredom, and the breeze was blowing, but she didn't feel very happy.

At the beginning of the second year of high school, two major events happened.

One is the reform of the college entrance examination.

New policy for new students, old policy for old students.Students who entered the first year of high school this year no longer distinguish between arts and sciences, but adopt the form of 3+1, three designated subjects other than language and mathematics + one of the six selected subjects, but the ranking is still divided into arts and sciences, each according to The percentage adjusts the original score and then ranks.

When the head teacher mentioned it in class, envious sighs rang out in the classroom one after another. Although there were rumors of reform last year, they didn't expect it to come so soon, and they happened to miss it.

Tao Shuran was not surprised. After all, the city's college entrance examination reform is one of the most important projects for the Education Bureau. Her mother began to participate in related work a few years ago. Over the past few years, large and small meetings have also been held. Hundreds.

Anyway, as a sophomore in high school, this matter doesn't have much to do with them, and the second matter is Tao Shuran's personal matter, which is also the reason why she is so depressed now.

After the key classes of arts and sciences were divided into classes, the personnel did not change any more. In addition, Tao Shuran's recent grades were good, and it seemed that her high school studies were on the right track. Tao's father and mother's quality education was moved again.

Quality education, when it is in opposition to exam-oriented education, sounds very advanced; but when it is in parallel with exam-oriented education, it is undoubtedly a nightmare for students.

Like most parents, following a series of tenets such as "giving the best to children", "no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education", and "don't lose at the starting line", Tao Shuran's parents firmly hold the "bible" of quality education, Starting from kindergarten, I used the time after school and weekends to rush to the field one after another.

As a pair of senior intellectuals with certain financial resources, they have a longer-term vision and a more ambitious goal.

As early as more than ten years ago, when the Children's Palace was very hot, she began to hire one-on-one private tutoring for Tao Shuran, and every time she was playful or had a bad temper, she could always cleverly take out a long copy from the drawer of the dining table. At the end of the long bill was a particularly glaring total amount. She used some earnest words to make her feel the good intentions of her parents, and finally calmly continued to accept the arrangement of three small classes in one night.

Classes are carefully considered.

First of all, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, chess is directly crossed out, the reason is very simple.

It's hard to show this stuff. After you learn to sing and dance, you can still perform it for others. Calligraphy and painting can also be displayed to show your character.

This game of chess, as a one-on-one social activity, can't be tricked in any aspect, but the difficulty is still very high. Participating in competitions and helping with further studies are so difficult that it is inefficient, so it is directly ignored.

In terms of musical instruments, the piano was the first choice.

When Tao Shuran was in elementary school, the publicity of piano lessons came overwhelmingly, saying that ten fingers connect to the heart, exercising fingers during growth and development can make the brain smarter, and the piano tone is universal and pleasant, no doubt becomes the best choice.

Mother Tao waved her hand, and in the second week, a quadrangle piano was carried into the study.

Tao Shuran was also there when signing for the receipt. She signed and handed the bill to Tao Shuran, and taught her to read it carefully, and then sighed: "Little Ran, the family conditions are not very good, but parents will never The one that has wronged you, no matter how expensive it is, I will buy it for you."

Three-year-old Tao Shuran still had a fleshy bun face, and her round black grape-like eyes blinked. She probably understood what her mother meant, nodded, and put the bill into a small square box that she kept until now. Then tucked it back under the bed.

As a result, when they entered the third grade, the two parents realized that something was wrong: why is it that a child can play the piano these days?

Especially after hearing that a certain colleague's child had obtained a tenth grade certificate in sixth grade, the atmosphere at the dinner table became solemn.

"Xiao Ran, you have been studying for more than five years. Why did you only pass the sixth grade? You are getting lazy now. How will you study in the future? The higher the level, the greater the difficulty span. Others have already passed the sixth grade exam. After finishing the tenth level, do you think you can do it according to your current level of effort? These years, no matter how busy your parents are at work, they will pick you up from class, and they will pay for the expensive tuition. No matter how many children are envious of this Yes, why don't you know how to cherish it?"

Nine-year-old Tao Shuran still doesn't like to talk, she only knows to eat with her head depressed, and tears roll down from time to time, mixed with the rice, which is salty and not tasty.

At this time, Tao Shuran still had the energy to cry. It didn't take long for Tao's mother to learn the news: if you want to enter an international orchestra, you must know at least two musical instruments.Although it doesn't matter what band you get into, the piano is indeed too common. If you want to be competitive, you must at least learn another one.

The two parents discussed the topic of "should we specialize in Western music or merge Chinese and Western music" all night.

I called and consulted, and said that it is better to start learning the violin at an early age. Your little girl is a bit too old at the age of nine, and she also said that the flute can indeed be learned, but it seems that Ling Ai is not very tall. suitable.

In the end, it had to be finalized as Han traditional string music.

As a result, half of the sketching class that Tao Shuran took was canceled and changed to Guzheng class.

The third small class that I have been taking during the same period is about dance.

At the very beginning, Tao Mutuo spent a lot of money to get her into a small Latin class run by a well-known dance troupe. She was in the fifth grade, and she happened to hear that there were two children in their early teens who saw each other in this small class and even skipped class. go out on a date.

Now Mother Tao couldn't sit still anymore. After thinking for a long time, she stopped Latin class and changed it to ballet. Although she didn't continue after learning for more than a year, Tao Shuran's walking posture is still slightly awkward.

In the fifth grade, Tao Shuran successfully obtained the tenth grade piano certificate. Although she was an amateur, it was at least a rich milestone on the road of children's quality education.

When one road came to an end, Mother Tao immediately arranged for the next road—the Second Wai.

Other aspects of Shencheng dare not say that the foreign language proficiency of the students is definitely leading in the country. Tao Shuran has been calibrating the voice and intonation with foreign teachers since she was four years old. Her London accent is not [-]% like it, but it is also elegant and unique. enough.

But since her parents started to prepare her for the next school year's English competition, she asked around and found out that no one only learns one foreign language these days, English is so simple, without a second foreigner means that she has no competitiveness .

If you want to learn, you must learn Western languages:

French, no, a certain colleague’s family also learns French; German is even more unacceptable, Professor Hu went to Germany for advanced studies in his early years, and after half a year of surprise learning, he speaks German, with poor pronunciation and intonation, full of mistakes and omissions in grammar, and he just likes to show off .

The last choice was Spanish, so since the fifth grade, Tao Shuran has added an extra homework to her morning reading every day, learning machine gun shooting by facing the window and practicing the big tongue sound.

In the summer vacation at the end of the fifth grade, Tao Shuran left Shencheng for the first time and directly embarked on a journey to a foreign country.

During the half month of traveling in Europe, her daily travel goal was to take a notebook to write down the sights she visited, go back every night to check the information and organize it, and worked hard to translate for her parents along the way. She went to communicate with foreigners with red eyes, from trembling and choking to talking without changing her face, she made 1 transposition mistakes, and Tao Mu, who couldn't understand anyway, finally nodded in satisfaction.

After junior high school, the Olympic competition suddenly came in front of me.

In the first year of junior high school, Mother Tao was very determined: If others can learn, we should too.

Especially after the English competition and the computer award, this will reached its peak.

Since then, the ballet class has been changed to the Mathematical Olympiad class, and Tao Shuran, who is immersed in the sea of ​​questions every day, has repeatedly died in frustration.

Therefore, Tao Shuran, who canceled all interest classes except guzheng in order to concentrate on the senior high school entrance examination after the third year of the first year, was relieved.

During those days, she was only responsible for taking the exam, and the ten hours of practicing the piano every week became entertainment, and the pure time slipped by her fingertips like this, and the monotonous days were as boring as pastime.

After graduating from the third year of junior high school, a new stage of life has arrived.

Last summer, Tao Shuran attended the preparatory class for the first year of high school, which was taught by one of the best key class teachers in the city.

Tao Shuran went to take mathematics, physics and chemistry three subjects, and listened to the teacher explain the course a few months later, and still couldn't understand the topics that should not be.

The time for interest activities every night is tea art and Chinese painting class.

After getting the tenth-level Guzheng certificate, she only needs to make tea with the teacher every night to make a show, learn some basic freehand brushwork and hand in two homeworks to count as success.

Tao Shuran enjoyed those quiet nights very much.

After the first year of high school, the nine subjects were advanced at the same time, and the learning style was forcibly changed. Tao's father and Tao's mother gave her a year's leave in consideration of adapting to the child's nature. Judging from the learning results, their decision was indeed correct.

As a result, the second year of high school started, and new interest classes followed one after another.

One is Spanish, which was cut off before. Tao Shuran picked up the ashes of the textbook and continued to learn; the other was preparing for the Olympic competition. Considering that Tao Shuran had no talent in mathematics and physics, Tao's mother contacted her for chemistry. The teacher who competes with Biology takes her to learn after school every day.

In order to recharge their batteries, the morning exercises and morning self-study sessions with Jiang Hanqi were cancelled, and they couldn’t go home together after school, so they could only finish lunch with her in the cafeteria at noon, and then they got on their bicycles and went to the school next door for the chemistry competition. lunch class.

Jiang Hanqi himself does not agree with so many heavy schoolwork. Parents really feel pain when they pay, but they often make decisions with a pat on the head, completely unaware of the child's bitterness.

Adults have a labor protection law that states that they work forty hours a week. Although it is one thing to enforce it or not, they forget that children should also have a study protection law, which stipulates that the number of hours of study should not exceed a week.

What's more, Ran Ran herself doesn't need to live such a tiring life.

Thinking of the girl's tired eyebrows and dwindling smile, Jiang Hanqi sighed, sat in the nearest coffee shop outside the school, and opened a new document in his notebook.

The sense of powerlessness brought about by age is overwhelming. Tao Shuran is still at the age where she is obliged to obey her guardian. No matter how much she objects, it will not help. After all, it is someone else's family business, so she can only do her best to make Ranran feel more relaxed.

The difference between the biochemical competition and the mathematics competition is that as long as the logical framework is constructed, the rest is memory.

A lot of materials are ready-made, and students don't even need to understand it. The exam depends on who has memorized more knowledge points, which is very boring, so Jiang Hanqi didn't want to take it from the beginning.

And now, after a quick scan of the syllabus, she still maintains her original point of view: fast and firm memory is the key.

Jiang Hanxi tapped the pen on the draft paper lightly with the pen in his hand, and made three or two dots of ink. He chose to use the form of exam questions plus sample questions to make a summary.

Outside the window, the lights are bright and neon is flashing, the campus is empty and deserted, the moon and stars are sparse, and her little girl is still in class, or her brows are frowned, her whole body is hot from concentration, or her eyelids are drooping, struggling with sleepiness .

She can't be with her.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

This paragraph is mainly about the formation of Ran Ran's character, which is both rebellious (nature of wanting to play) and sensible (moral kidnapping by parents), extroverted (forced to communicate with others) and introverted (need for personal space), and weak ( The feeling of being frustrated and needing to vent) and being strong (what's the use of crying is just being beaten)=w=

When I was studying, it was still popular to be influenced by literature and art. Now I like to do programming, handmade, innovative projects and so on. Personally, I feel that it is much more practical hahaha.Now the children are really suffering. I asked my colleagues. Although many schools say that classes start at [-] o’clock, they usually get up at [-] o’clock, go to cram school, and then have breakfast on the way to school after class. .The children are tired and the parents are also tired (teachers are also tired when they get up early and start classes), I can't understand it.

The overhead of the academic system in the btw copy mainly refers to the 00 here. There shouldn’t be any province’s examination system like this, hahahaha, I have implemented 3+1 for more than ten years, and then changed it to 3+ a few years ago 3. Because I don’t understand 3+3 at all, I can’t write it. The arts and sciences should be the most familiar to everyone.
